In a recent interview with Rich Roll on YouTube, supermodel and NFL legend Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen opened up about their co-parenting arrangement. She talked about her approach to motherhood and instilling wellness alongside independent values in her children. With two kids of her own and a ‘bonus child‘ from Brady’s previous relationship, Bündchen shares insights into her family dynamic post-divorce and her commitments to fostering a healthy lifestyle for her children as they grow up.
Gisele Bündchen believes in the philosophy that children absorb everything they see, which makes it crucial for parents to align their actions with the values they want to teach their kids. Being a supermodel herself, while also having Brady as their role model, her kids are blessed with parents who can teach them how to take care of and maximize the potential of their bodies from their primitive years.

While Gisele Bündchen’s journey has been nothing short of unique so far, from her marriage to her motherhood, her reflection showcases a complete commitment to all her roles. She talks about how she and Brady treat each other with mutual respect, referring to also having the responsibilities of their elder son from his previous relationship. She candidly says, “I Have a Bonus Child,” hinting that co-parenting has not been as tough as it may seem to media looking to criticize the duo.
“It’s like a delicate dance,” Bündchen remarked. “Encouraging independence while still guiding them towards making healthy choices.” Gisele and Tom are now setting prime examples of effective co-parenting by embracing their blended family with grace and understanding.
“It was a whole new experience for all of us,” Bündchen shared. “But now that they’re back in school, especially my 14-year-old son, I see him wanting to explore and push boundaries, which is a natural part of growing up.” From homeschooling during the pandemic to teaching self-care and independence, the couple have tried their best to teach their children central life values.
